In the follow-up to the smash hit 2014 movie, Egerton’s Eggsy is seen at one point at Glastonbury – with a mission of planting a tracker in a very private area of target Clara, played by Poppy Delevingne.
What follows is a graphic shot that follows Eggy’s hand down – and then inside – Clara’s body.
Egerton has revealed in a new interview that the shot was achieved using not his hand – but Delevingne’s husband’s.
“In this one, I’m in the shot and I said to Matthew ‘I’m not comfortable doing this’,” he recalled to ScreenRant.
“So it’s not my hand – it’s Poppy [Delevingne]’s husband’s hand. He saved the world.”
On the controversy the moment caused, he added: “It’s what Matthew [Vaughn] does, it’s his signature thing.
“He likes to do something that shocks. In Kick-Ass it was Chloe Grace Moretz saying the C-word, in Kingsman 1 it was the bum shot of the Swedish princess, and in this one it’s the thing.
“And, you know, it’s not to everyone’s tastes, but it certainly gets people talking.
“All it is is explicitly showing what Bond alludes to and says in a double entendre kind of way.”
Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle – which has received slightly less favourable reviews than its predecessor – is out now.
